    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for adjusting the polarizations of the components of an input beam to reduce leakage caused by imperfections in an interferometer are disclosed. The apparatus includes an interferometer positioned to receive an input beam that includes two components having different frequencies and different polarizations, the interferometer including a polarizing beam splitter positioned to spatially separate the input beam into two intermediate beams, the first intermediate beam corresponding to the first component and the second intermediate beam corresponding to the second component, where imperfections in the interferometer cause leakage of one of the components into the intermediate beam corresponding to the other of the components. The apparatus further includes a polarization compensator that includes at least one retardation plate positioned to adjust the polarizations of the components of the input beam to reduce the leakage caused by the imperfections in the interferometer.

    Abstract: A rotary stacker and method wherein a stream of web units such as napkins is advanced along a longitudinally extending path in longitudinally spaced relation toward and over a magazine, each napkin being pressed into the magazine by cams applying pressure at a plurality of longitudinally spaced areas over the magazine and orienting the cams so as to remove the pressure on the upstream cam just prior to the entry of the leading edge of a unit subsequent to the one being pressed and while maintaining the pressure on the previously pressed unit by the downstream cams.

    Abstract: An engine control and combustion quality detection system and method are provided for an internal combustion engine having at least one control input such as spark advance angle or air/fuel ratio. A base value is established for the control input and the control input is periodically perturbed about the base value. A sensor senses an engine parameter such as knock or engine roughness representing the combustion quality of the engine and provides an output representing this engine parameter. A slope calculation device receives the output from the sensor when the control input is being perturbed about the base value and determines the slope or differential of the output from the sensor to determine the engine parameter as a function of the control input, thereby to provide an indication of combustion quality of the engine. By determining the combustion quality of the engine by calculating the slope of the sensor output when the perturbation device perturbs the first control input about the established base value, the noise component of the sensor output is substantially eliminated. The slope of the sensor output should be at or close to zero when combustion quality is acceptable.
